Slightly unusual making a more advanced version for a foreign nation (Qatar), and then adopting the new version for the USAF.https://newatlas.com/military/boeing-contract-firs...
Normally you’d get the USA buying it and then selling similar versions to foreign nations.
Nice to see the F15 continue though.

I thought that the. I reread it and its a more high tech version of the Qatar version just for USA. No way they would sell the hypersonic missile to overseas. Normally you’d get the USA buying it and then selling similar versions to foreign nations.

I think the stripe is actually dark blue (in line with NASA's house colours).
I liked the all metal 003 and 008 which also, at various times, carried large areas of dayglo orange or bright red.
It's a surprisingly smiley face for something that had the potential to be, to quote Robert Oppenheimer, "the destroyer of worlds". I liked the all metal 003 and 008 which also, at various times, carried large areas of dayglo orange or bright red.

Interesting that pilots can transition "in days, not years" there...https://newatlas.com/military/boeing-contract-firs...

They pushed a buccaneer off an aircraft carrier to make a safety film about avoiding aircraft falling into the sea? There's a video of it too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBfqiKukVps

Presumably it was also used for training ie the recovering the aircraft itself etc?
